The Genome of Pieris rapae Granulovirus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pieris rapae granulovirus (PrGV) can infect and kill larvae of Pieris rapae, a worldwide and important pest of mustard family crops. The PrGV genome consists of 108,592 bp, is AT rich (66.8%), and is most structurally and organizationally similar to the Choristoneura occidentalis granulovirus genome. Of the predicted 120 open reading frames (ORFs), 32 genes specifically occurred in GVs, including four genes unique to PrGV (Pr9, Pr32, Pr53, and Pr117).

Analysis of the Genome of a Korean Isolate of the Pieris rapae Granulovirus Enabled by Its Separation from Total Host Genomic DNA by Pulse-Field Electrophoresis
BACKGROUND Most traditional genome sequencing projects involving viruses include the culture and purification of the virus particles. However, purification of virions may yield insufficient material for traditional sequencing. The electrophoretic method described here provides a strategy whereby the genomic DNA of the Korean isolate of Pieris rapae granulovirus (PiraGV-K) could be recovered in ...
متن کاملEstablishment of Cell Lines from Pieris rapae Embryos: Characterization and Susceptibility to Baculoviruses
Many embryonic Pieris rapae (imported cabbageworm) cell lines were established from 24-hr-old P. rapae eggs. Some were characterized by growth curve analysis and by malate and lactate dehydrogenase isozyme comparison with other lepidopteran and mosquito cell lines. Most of the cell lines were screened for susceptibility to P. rapae granulosis virus using the peroxidase antiperoxidase assay and ...
متن کاملSexual dichroism and pigment localization in the wing scales of Pieris rapae butterflies.
The beads in the wing scales of pierid butterflies play a crucially important role in wing coloration as shown by spectrophotometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The beads contain pterin pigments, which in Pieris rapae absorb predominantly in the ultraviolet (UV). SEM demonstrates that in the European subspecies Pieris rapae rapae, both males and females have dorsal wing scales with a...
متن کاملIntroduction and evaluation of Cotesia rubecula, a parasitoid of Pieris rapae in New Zealand
The host specificity of Cotesia rubecula (Marshall) was examined through literature searches, behavioural and ecological observations, and host specificity tests of a South Australian population. The results led to the importation and testing of C. rubecula in quarantine in New Zealand where its specificity to the genus Pieris was confirmed. Introduction of the parasitoid was approved and the s...
متن کاملInaccurate mate recognition as a mating strategy of a ‘pioneer male’
Heterosubspecific mating experiments were carried out between two subspecies of cabbage butterflies, British Pieris rapae rapae and Japanese P. rapae crucivora, to examine how accurately males recognize the mates. The two subspecies are different in that the wings of female P. rapae rapae reflect little UV light, whereas those of female P. rapae crucivora are strongly UV-reflective. The wing co...
